The goal of this course is to learn the fundamental tools of linear algebra which are basic for engineering applications.

Competenze attese

At the end of the course the student will be able to use matrix calculus, to solve linear systems,
to compute dimension, bases, intersections and unions of vector and subvector spaces, to compute eigenvalues, eigenvectors with applications to diagonalization of square matrices and to the study of conics in the plane.

Prerequisiti

The students are expected to know results and techniques from trigonometry, complex numbers and basic mathematic of hight school.

Exercise sections are done during the course. A text of exercises with complete solutions can be find in my personal web page.
